The most important thing in a relationship, if you want it to go the distance. Is being kind. And actually staying interested in the other person's experience point of view. Like the challenge of being in a relationship that long is you think you know somebody. The fact is I don't care how great your relationship is or how bad it is or whatever, but how great it is in particular. 

The number one skill needed for a long-lasting relationship is not date-nights, it's not holiday cruises, it's not walks on the beach, it's not giving each other gifts, it's not cooking for each other, it's learning how to fight. The truth is that any good relationship will always have conflict. You're never gonna be in a scenario where you're dating, where you don't argue or you don't have a disagreement it's going to happen.
